Gotham FC is in third place on the standings and is in a position to host a playoff game, but it also has the fewest goals scored out of any of the six teams heading to the playoffs. González, fresh off a World Cup victory, could provide the perfect boost to keep Gotham building toward the postseason.The other angle to this signing, of course, is what it means for the NWSL as a whole — and Gotham FC signing a World Cup winner certainly helps quell some of the concerns around the league.
And kudos to the Gotham front office, who put out Wednesday’s news releases in both English and Spanish. It’s a good first step to taking full advantage of a signing like this.“I am excited and honored to join Gotham FC, one of the top clubs in the NWSL,” González said in a statement. “As I continue my journey in football, I look forward to my next challenge in a competitive league where I will face the best players in the world in every game.
Prior to joining Real Madrid, Gonzálezs played for Club Atlético de Madrid and led the team to three Liga F titles and a Copa de la Reina crown.
